In Lakota tradition, the bow and arrow were more than tools
for hunting or battle. The bow’s resilience and flexibility,
the arrow’s grace and power, the archer’s focus and
patience—in these, we find the essential qualities for
living a life of strength, purpose, and simplicity. In
,em>The Lakota Way of Strength and Courage, Joseph M.
Marshall builds upon the central metaphor of the bow and
arrow to provide a treasury of insights, stories, and
irreplaceable wisdom. With elegant and captivating writing,
this master storyteller illuminates timeless lessons on: Transformation—how we can preserve what is fundamental
even as our external circumstances change
Simplicity—the story of grandmother Grass Braid, who
understood that “the more you know, the less you need to carry”
Strength and Resiliency—what the history and lore of the
Lakota can teach us about growing through adversity
Purpose—how the world unveils our purpose to us, as
revealed in story of the Keeper of the Winter Count Once, the Lakota people relied on the ash bow and the willow
arrow to provide food and sustenance. Today, these simple
tools can offer us something even more precious: a way to
nourish our souls with spiritual wisdom. Joseph M. Marshall
offers a book that is at once profound, honest, and rich
with meaning as he reveals The Lakota Way of Strength and
Courage.
